Re: [arr] song tu hi tu

[Leslie D]

Upon reading your comment, I went back and heard the song again and I must
say I am now more convinced about my comments. Even Chitra is not upto the
mark with Hindi diction. "Subah", "Khwab" etc dont sound like a native
speaker singing it.
Both of them are excellent singers but when Malayalam is your first language
then speaking Hindi becomes very difficult. क,ख,ग is not
easily distinguishable. Not meant to hurt any Keralites as I am one. My
parents have been speaking Hindi for 40 odd years and still cant get some
words right.

[arr] 'Blue' promos from 14th August

[rivjot]

The first promo of 'Blue' will be unveiled with 'Kaminey' next week Click here 
to add this article to My Clips

By Taran Adarsh, August 4, 2009 - 08:51 IST

Blue The coming weeks will witness the release of some hugely-anticipated 
films. The first promo of WANTED has met with tremendous response, with the aam 
junta greeting the promo with rare enthusiasm. This writer is confident that 
the first promo of Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision's BLUE, directed by Anthony 
D'Souza, will also be welcomed with whistles and claps. In fact, the first 
promo will be unveiled on 14th August with KAMINEY.

While on BLUE, a section of the industry feels that the film won't make it in 
Diwali since the actors have yet to dub for the film and also A.R. Rahman has 
not recorded the background score yet. It's far from true, since Akshay Kumar 
has already completed his dubbing, while Sanju and Katrina are expected to dub 
in the forthcoming week.

Also, the maestro, Rahman, has started recording the background score in 
Chennai. Sure, the CG work will take time, but the makers are 100% sure that 
BLUE will hit the screens on the scheduled date, on 16th October. That should 
put an end to all speculation vis-à-vis the release date of this biggie.

[Farzad Khaleel]

M.G Sreekumar & K.J Yesudas has a heavy South Indian Accent. The people who
heard the song O Bhanwre, Kissa Hum Likhenge etc can clearly spot the
difference in the pronunciation of Hindi Words. But the female singers like
K.S Chithra, Kavitha Krishnamoorthy and Sujatha does extremely well in
Hindi.
In the same case Benny Dayal does a fairly good job in Hindi taking the fact
that he is also from Kerala.

[arr] Miracle! [1 Attachment]

[Madhavan Rajan]

I was just adding all the songs from my music library to Nokia Music
Manager. I just saw the application categorizing the albums artist-wise and
suddenly I could see a group which read AR Rahman - 786 Tracks!!! Though I
had all AR songs in my library, I was surprised to see exactly 786 tracks in
one group...It was just a miracle... See attached pic...

[arr] revisiting Karuthmma

[taimur.nadeem]

hi arvind,
  it was great reading about your review of karuthmma i just love this 
album . although i dont understand a single word as i am from Pakistan  , but A 
R RAHMAN has made me to listen to the songs of this beautiful language. 
karuthmma is a superb rural score by A R RAHMAN . Just brilliant ,i often 
listen to the songs of the album. whether the scintillating poorale( happy and 
sad), the rhythmic thenmek, the rural masterpiece  pachkilli i really love the 
voice of shahul hameed, or kaadu potta all the songs very creative and 
skillyfully done . you can see for yourself i in Pakistan listening to this 
rural tamil album  without understanding a single word even after the album is 
14 years old .

 you said that poorale has some humourous lyrics can you give me a translation 
of it . ill be thankful. ok its goodbye really enjoyed you review.

regards,

taimur,
karachi,
Pakistan.

Re: [arr] Mix of a song we all almost forgot...

[Leslie D]

While the tune, orchestration, lyrics was good, I wouldnt term the song as
good. The sole reason being Sreekumar's torturous Hindi pronounciation. He
single handedly killed a beautiful song. If you Udit Narayan's Tamil is bad
then this is absolutely unpardonable sin.

[arr] Anyone have any recordings from ARR's "Roots" or "Nemesis"?

[Chord]

Curious to know.

Re: [ARR] Astad Deboo talks about a song from Raavan

[Chord]

All these little tidbits of info on the music are only heightening my 
excitement, but yet, have such a long time to wait.  Thanks for sharing.  You 
know ARR will deliver good stuff with Mani and with the subject of this movie, 
this soundtrack is going to be an ace, mark my words.

[arr] Revisiting "Karuthamma"(1994)- A Rustic Rural Score

[ARRvind]

Karuthamma!! The very name sounds like a south indian village belle whose 
story forms the crux. The main credits to be rolled out here are :

Direction: Bharathi Raja

Star Cast : Raja, Maheshwari, Rajashri

Music : A R Rahman (Not sure about the background score though!)

Lyrics : Vairamuthu


 Bharathi Raja, who is a thespian in making village based movies comes up with 
this triangular love story with lesser known actors. This must be the first 
time collaboration of the director with ARR who was until then dubbed as the 
"technology backed musician". ARR broke all records with this movie along with 
other village based Kizhakku Cheemayile and Vandicholai Chinnarasu and proved 
all critics wrong and how!!. It made every critic run and hide their face..!! 
BR - ARR - Vairamuthu combo has been
 very artistically successful than commercial.!

  Theanmerku Paruvakaatru ---> Unni Krishnan , Chitra

 It was a dream offer for Unni who was until then singing only solos, got a 
chance to sing his first ever duet and with whom..? His most favourite singer 
Chitra..!!! (based on excerpts from his interview). The song begins with 
droplets with a soothing drumbeats..!! Followed by the ever soothing 
nightingalish voice of Chitra with her lines...and then Unni repeats her 
lines..Though he is a legend in classical arena, he goes very mushy and 
romantic in this song showing his lighter side. The interludes, particularly 
the second interludes mesmerises like heavans...!!! The water droplets sound in 
the background throughout the song makes the listener feel the rain without 
visually seeing the song. The last charanam by Chitra is just hummingand 
what an effect she leaves
 behind is only to be experienced..!!! Amazing romantic song...!!!


Pachhaikili Paadum ---> Minmini , Shahul Hameed, Chorus

  Welcome to the world of Cocks, Hens, Bulls and Birds and some rustic country 
side voice tones of Shahul Hameed and Minmini. Shahul is like 100% perfect pick 
for this song. This song is  melodious and  folksy as well. Sadly, did not get 
the deserved recognition it should have got.  The female chorus part is also 
equally charged up and dub some of the animatic sounds. Particularly, hear it 
carefully when Minmini goes "Kondattam...indru thendralukku dinam dinam...", a 
donkey hee-haaws in rhythm. Only ARR can make a donkey sound in rythm..  ;) . 
Full masti and entertaining song...!!!

Kaadu Potta Kaadu --> Malaysia Vasudevan, Bharati Raja, T K Kala

   The two thespians Malaysia Vasudevan and Bharati Raja unite in this very 
situational song. Cannot be termed as the best by ARR. He has casually belted 
out this number with some nice flutes and chords. Certainly will not appeal to 
the listeners unless they are live and breathe the country air. T K Kala enters 
only in the second interlude BGM with her traditional pathos flavoured voice. 
Could have sounded even more better for me..!!!

Aaraaro Aariraaro ---> T K Kala, Theni Kunjarammal

    A great choice of singers by ARR for this heart wrenching 
tragedy piece. I really dont know how Theni Kunjarammal sounds in-syc even if 
she goes out of pitch many times especially for the patho songs. Its this 
particular wonder that she got many offers from ARR. And nothing to say about T 
K Kala. Its completely her genre. She adds a special warmth that cannot be 
easily ignored. The music is completely minimal here and yet sounds great in 
the background.

Pooraale Ponnuthaayi (Happy Version) --> Unni Menon, Sujatha

   The "Pudhu Vellai Mazhai" jodi Unni and Sujatha re -unite in this happy 
version of Porale Ponnuthayi. A mindblowing melody with nice interludes and 
humourous lyrics. The same happy version was re-used by ARR as "Chanda Taare.." 
with Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan saab..!!! I absolutely marvel at this knack 
of ARR to make a same song sound in completely contrasting genres. Hats off to 
him..!!


Poorale Ponnuthaayi (Sad Version) ---> Swarnalatha

   For me, personally, Karuthamma is synonymous with Swarnalatha...and its just 
because of this song..!! She has typically lived in the skin of the character 
while rendering this heart melting wonder..!! And rightly so, was the recepient 
of the prestigious National Award winner for the Best Playback Singer Female of 
that year..!!! Be it her initial aalaps, her haunting pallavis and charanams 
and the long breathless finishing towards the end moves any music lover to 
tears.! ARR uses very minimal instruments very carefully as to not come in the 
way of her rendition.! Easily THE BEST song produced from this fantastic 
combo..!! Vairamuthu too needs a loud appalause for his mindblowing lyrics! 


 Karuthamma may not be those World Level best creations by ARR, but still it 
lingers on the mind for many many years to come.! It was a fitting reply for 
all the critics who clubbed ARR and Technology together..!! I am sorry...dont 
know much on the BGM part of this movie to write.

RE: [arr] Hidden Diamonds

[Amith Chandhran]

By the way did anyone realize, the song Ghoomparani might have two versions. 
The CD inlay has lyrics printed on it and there is a stanza which I haven't 
heard in the song yet. Maybe the stanza was there in the movie? I don't know. 
Any idea, anyone?

The lyrics:

nindiya raani sapne dedo munne ki naino ko
ghoomparani mashi pishi moder baari yesho

(ghoomparani mashi pishi moder baari...)

sapno bhari bagiyan mein
jo munna mera jaage
indrdhanush jhoola bane
hawa ye lori gaaye
naram ghata chunaye jhukaye munne ki palkon ko

(ghoomparani mashi pishi moder baari...)

This is so wonderful, haunting is the right word I guess.
Now if you could share the notes or the midi, that would be very much 
appreciated.

[arr] song tu hi tu

[taimur.nadeem]

hi wiredbeats,
 you are absolutely right . this song was way ahead of its time . its a 
super rhythmic song by A R RAHMAN. ive always listened it. the song has a high 
tempo ,intensive but sweet sitar interlude which could take your breathe away . 
i found a menace in the song you said it right it has a restlessness . 

 i also wanted to tell you that the structure of the song was completely copied 
by many music directors.  do listen "manase" from movie nenjinile music by deva 
, singers unnikrishnan and chitra. the song structure is 100% same. the song is 
completely inspired, the early alaap , the rhythm beats, the sitar interlude 
and overall feel of the song is the same . but its also a good song .do listen 
it carefully and then reply me.ok its goodbye have nice day .

regards,

taimur, 
karachi,

[arr] சினிமாவில் நடிக ்க தெரியாது -ஏ.ஆர ்.ரகுமான்

[sandhiya vs]

சினிமாவில் நடிக்க தெரியாது -ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான்

 






பிரபல இசைஅமைப்பாளர் ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான் ஒரு நிகழ்ச்சியில் கலந்து கொள்வதற்காக ஐதராபாத் 
சென்றிருந்தார். அப்போது அவர் நிருபர்களிடம் கூறியதாவது:-
 
நான் சிறு வயதில் மிகவும் கஷ்டப்பட்டேன். அப்பா திடீரென இறந்து போனதால் 
குடும்பத்தை காப்பாற்ற வேண்டிய பொறுப்பு எனக்கு ஏற்பட்டது. இதனால் நான் இரவுகலாக 
உழைத்தேன். என்னோடு சேர்ந்து அம்மாவும் பல்வேறு கஷ்டங்களை அனுபவித்தார். இதனால் 
தான் என்னால் எப்போதும் இன்ப-துன்பங்களை சமமாக பார்க்க முடிகிறது.
 
எங்கள் வீட்டில் வறுமை தாண்டவமாடிய சமயத்தில் என் அப்பா பயன்படுத்திய இசை கருவிகளை 
விற்று விடும்படி சிலர் கூறினார்கள். ஆனால் என் அம்மா, இந்த கருவிகள் என் மகனுக்கு 
பயன்படும் என்று கூறி விற்க மறுத்து விட்டார். என் அம்மாவின் விருப்பப்படி நான் 
இசை அமைப்பாளராக மாறினேன். ரசிகர்களுக்கு புதுமையான பாடல்களை வழங்க வேண்டும் 
என்பதில் தீவிர கவனம் செலுத்தி வருகிறேன்.
 
இடையில் எனக்கு ஆஸ்கார் விருதுகள் கிடைத்த பிறகு பாராட்டு விழாக்கள் அதிக அளவில் 
நடத்தப்படுகின்றன. இதனால் எனது இசை அமைக்கும் நேரமும் வீணாகி வருகிறது. இதுதான் 
எனக்கு மிகவும் கவலையாக உள்ளது.
 
இதனால்தான் தற்போது நான் பாராட்டு விழாக்களில் கலந்து கொள்வதை தவிர்த்து வருகிறேன்.
 
எனக்கு சமீபகாலமாக இந்தி-தமிழ் படங்களில் நடிக்க நிறைய வாய்ப்புகள் வருகிறது. சில 
டைரக்டர்கள் சிம்பிளான கேரக்டர்தான். சும்மா முகத்தை காட்டிவிட்டு சென்றால் போதும் 
என்று கேட்கிறார்கள். அவர்களிடம் எனக்கு சினிமாவில் நடிக்க தெரியாது. தயவு செய்து 
ஆளை விடுங்கள் என்று கூறி மறுத்து விட்டேன்.
 
எனக்கு சுத்தமாக நடிக்கத் தெரியாது என்று சொல்லிவிட முடியாது. மியூசிக் 
ரிக்கார்டிங் தியேட்டரில் ஓரளவு நடிப்பேன். அதாவது ஊழியர்களிடம் கோபப்படுவது போல் 
நடிப்பேன். அப்போதுதான் அவர்கள் வேலையை சீக்கிரம் முடிப்பார்கள். உண்மையில் எனக்கு 
கோபமே வராது. அந்த அளவுக்கு மனம் பக்குவப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. இந்த பக்குவத்தை வரமாக 
அளித்ததும் இசைதான் என்கிறார் ஏ.ஆர். ரகுமான்.
